Question about versions of libstdc++

2002-08-11 Thread Yuval Kfir

Hello,
I'm confused by the multitude of versions of libstdc++ I find on my Red Hat
Linux installation, and the purpose of each one.  Basically, my question
is: which of these supersedes which, and which is the latest?  My problem
is a run-time incompatibility between a module I compile here, which uses
libstdc++.a.2.10.0, and the Java VM on RHL, which uses
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2.  I was thinking of using the .so library for my
modules too, but now I have a feeling this is actually an *older* library.

For example, I have:

/usr/lib 113% ls -F libstdc++*
libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.a libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3@
libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so*   libstdc++.so.2.7.2@
libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.alibstdc++.so.2.7.2.8*
libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so*  libstdc++.so.2.8@
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.a.2@  libstdc++.so.2.8.0*
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2@ libstdc++.so.2.9@
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.a.3@  libstdc++.so.2.9.dummy*

And under /usr/lib/gcc-lib (in subdirs) I have libstdc++.{so,a} pointing
backwards to various versions in /usr/lib.

The funny thing is, when I installed GCC 2.95.3 from scratch, I only got
/usr/gcc/2.95.3/lib/libstdc++.a.2.10.0.  No .so version.

So, to summarize my questions:
1. Which is the newer version? How do I interpret the various numbers in,
   e.g., libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so ?
2. If, as I suspect, libstdc++.a.2.10.0 is the newest version, where do I
   get an .so version of it?
3. Where can I find information on compatibility issues between these
   versions?

Many thanks in advance for any information,
- Yuval

Enter Key not recognized in X-LOGIN-window (in Compaq Presario 1510US, Redhat7.2)

2002-08-11 Thread Suresh K Hegde
Title: Enter Key not recognized in X-LOGIN-window (in Compaq Presario 1510US, Redhat7.2)






Hi,


I have a Compaq Presario 1510US notebook. I have installed Redhat7.2. Installation went without any problem. When I strated Linux and Enter the user-name and press ENETR. It doesn't take me to password line. ENTER key is not being recognized.

For testing, I connected an external PS/2 keyboard. I can log-in without any problem using the ENTER key on that. Once I could LOGIN the ENTER key of Notebook works FINE in the applications. I am finding the problem only in the LOGIN window.

As a workaround I have set the init state to 3 so that I can login in the console and then use startx to bring in the X-windows. 

Any answers to this typical problem? I am neither an expert nor a newby for Linux.



Thanks and regards,

Suresh Hegde

i tend to upgrade my gcc version 2 onto version 3, but have one
question: as the two compilers are not binary-compatible, is it true
that i need to recompile each and every library in my system (*-devel

and will there be an easy upgrade path, if redhat switches onto gcc3?

newbie question: how to speed up linux

2002-08-11 Thread Anders Thoresson

I've just taken my first stumbling steps down on the Linux road,
installing Redhat 7.3. Many things have impressed me so far, but the
over all speed of my system is a big dissappointment. Compared to when I
run Windows 95 and Windows 2000 on the same computer, almost everything
seems to take for ever.

 Clicking New Message in Evolution until the new message turns up
takes a couple of seconds. Starting OpenOffice 1.0 Writer somewhere
between 30 seconds and a minute. Recieving 500 mails or so from my ISP
somewhere between 15 och 30 minutes.

 My computer is a PII-233, ATI Mach64 3D Rage IIC for video, 192 MB RAM
and 2 ATA33 hard drives.

 What's the bottleneck? Could anything besides plugging in more RAM be
done to boost the performance?

 Best regards,

  Anders

RE: newbie question: how to speed up linux

2002-08-11 Thread Chris Mason

I have a Dell Latitude 233 MHz laptop which I run RH 7.3 and KDE. It's
not fast but I use it as a lot when I don't want to sit in front of my
workstation, especially as I have wireless and can be anywhere in the
house. 

I have two similar machines, I installed windows on the other and it
practically stopped it was so slow. I think you expect too much from
such a slow machine. If you don't run a gui, for instance as a server,
you can expect some reasonable work out of it, but as a desktop, it's a
bit too weak for real work.

Ted, where exactly is the compile failing?  Can you post the error
message.

That is a bit tricky to answer..  When it fails and I rerun the compile 
process it stops on a different error. And that error could be earlier or 
later than the last one.So each time it stops, it is on a different 
error and not related to the first.  Sometime it is a segmentation fault. 
Like the following:

misc.c: In function 'misc_open' :
misc.c:147; Internal error : Segmentation fault.
Prior to the Error indication it looked like this:
gcc: Internal error: Illegal Instruction (program as)


I have never seen this type of refusal to work before.  I am stumped..

You might want to start from scratch by going into
/usr/src/linux-2.4/configs and copying the config of you choice back to
the linux-2.4 directory as .config.


That is what I eventually did.  I had started by making my own but than 
felt - I better leave well  enough alone and take what is already in place 
and just amend that file  for the various options I need to add.


Once that's done then do a make mrproper, then make oldconfig and do

That was what I did next.  Or rather,  I backed up my .config file and than 
ran make mrproper  and than copied that backup file back to 
.config  and than began the compile process.


make dep clean modules modules_install bzImage


Yes.  But because I was apprehensive about it working properly, I just ran 
make dep clean bzImage  ; leaving the modules to compile at a later time.

And all that still didn't work..

I've noticed too that Evolution doesn't seem to be the fastest program out
there.  Probably still a matter of maturity.  In tests, it downloaded and
moved mail slower than Mozilla, for instance.  Though I liked the program
better.  So I don't think it is Linux thats to blame.

Now - there wouldn't be anyway using the 'Konquerer' program to view the
information there? I'm a bit spoiled when I use the File Explorer in
WinBloze.

Thanks!

RE: newbie question: how to speed up linux

2002-08-11 Thread Calbazana, Al

I assume you are booting straight to some X environment (KDE, Gnome, and
Enlightenment).  IMO, using a GUI with such low resources is asking for it.
If you are going to use a machine like that, consider booting straight to
command line :)  Besides, that's the best way to learn!

Subject: newbie question: how to speed up linux

I've just taken my first stumbling steps down on the Linux road,
installing Redhat 7.3. Many things have impressed me so far, but the
over all speed of my system is a big dissappointment. Compared to when I
run Windows 95 and Windows 2000 on the same computer, almost everything
seems to take for ever.

 Clicking New Message in Evolution until the new message turns up
takes a couple of seconds. Starting OpenOffice 1.0 Writer somewhere
between 30 seconds and a minute. Recieving 500 mails or so from my ISP
somewhere between 15 och 30 minutes.

 My computer is a PII-233, ATI Mach64 3D Rage IIC for video, 192 MB RAM
and 2 ATA33 hard drives.

 What's the bottleneck? Could anything besides plugging in more RAM be
done to boost the performance?

 Best regards,

still be plenty of RAM in which to run KDE.

Re: newbie question: how to speed up linux

2002-08-11 Thread Kevin MacNeil

You didn't say which desktop you're using, but both the gnome and kde
GUIs are pretty resource intensive.  One possibility is to try a leaner
desktop like xfce (www.xfce.org).  You should be able to switch back and
forth between it and what you're using now.

If you're using gnome and want to stick with it, you can really speed
things up by using gmc to draw the desktop instead of nautilus.  It's
not as pretty but it is faster and more stable.

Another thing I do (I'm not sure how much difference this makes) is to
install processor-specific kernel and glibc packages.  You can find the
latest i686 binaries for both in en/os/i686 at your favorite redhat
update mirror.

For the record, I have a celeron 433 with 384mb ram and run the ximian
gnome desktop (with gmc instead of nautilus) on redhat 7.2, with 
i686-specific versions of the kernel and glibc packages.  I have no
complaints whatsoever with the stability and performance of this setup,
although that wasn't the case before I got rid of nautilus.  Who knows,
maybe it's better now.

newbie question: upgrading software through redhat network andup2date

2002-08-11 Thread Anders Thoresson

Are new versions of software like Evolution put on Redhat Network and
made available through up2date, or do I have to get newer packages
somewhere else? 

Is up2date/RHN just for critical bugfixes? 

If, does that mean that if I get a newer version of Evolution from
somewhere else the RHN, then I can't depend on RHN/up2date to get my
critical bugfixes, but rather have to track them down by myself?

No need for sed, cut is simpler:-

  Cut is easier for this problem but I'd modify it one bit
  $extract= `echo File_21_05082002|cut -d_ -f2`
 
  This assumes (*cough*) that you want the value between the two _ characters.
 
  To answer your original question.  In sed:
  $extract=`echo $Fname | sed -e s/^File_// -e s/_[0-9]*$//`
 
  Should come very close to what you wanted (I think...)

 or in sed using 1 pattern match assuming File_ always comes before the
 digits and the end of the digits is a _ character.

  echo File_21_05082002|sed -e 's/^File_\(.*\)_.*$/\1/'


Or just use shell globbing:

  orig=File_21_05082002
  temp=${orig#*_}
  result=${temp%_*}
  echo $result

Sure, its plenty to start with. But how long before X, etc cache
starts taking all this. That's one way to have performance tank.

 Running just Gnome, Gnomeicu, Evolution and Opera, I would have guessed

Just a casual observations, based on my previous system which was 256M
Ram, 512 Swap, running just X (no gnome or kde):

On a clean boot, all is great for maybe a week. During this time X
memory consumption slowly increases, I guess due to caching, etc.
Eventually swap usage increases also, of course. At some point,
usually around 75% full, swap usage becomes a severe performance
hindrance (at what point this happens depends on kernel version --
some are much worse than others). Something that was very fast,
becomes an egg-sucking dog. So my solution, when I couldn't stand it
anymore, was to restart X. This frees up all the various X memory.
For me, this was every 7-14 days, or so.

It seems X-4.2 is much better about all this BTW.

Now I am on a 1G machine, and it just isn't an issue. I run X 30+ days
with no performance detriment. Hardly any swap is used.

I would guess these issues would surface faster with memory hogs such
as kde or gnome, etc.

If I had 192M RAM for my usage, I'd want want probably at least 700M
swap to avoid this particular situation.

Just remember...even though Linux is reporting your RAM as used, it's not 
all actually being used.  Take a look at your cached and -/+ buffers 
to get an idea of what's actually in use.

 Ted, where exactly is the compile failing?  Can you post the error
 message.
 
 That is a bit tricky to answer..  When it fails and I rerun the
 compile process it stops on a different error. And that error could be
 earlier or later than the last one.So each time it stops, it is on
 a different error and not related to the first.  Sometime it is a
 segmentation fault. Like the following:
 
 misc.c: In function 'misc_open' :
 misc.c:147; Internal error : Segmentation fault.
 Prior to the Error indication it looked like this:
 gcc: Internal error: Illegal Instruction (program as)
 
 
 I have never seen this type of refusal to work before.  I am stumped..

I've only seen this behavior twice.

Once was when I was compiling something and I didn't have enough swap.
It was a long time ago and I can't remember what it was, but it forced
me into using a swapfile until I got it built.

The second time was when I had a ram module going bad. I didn't know it
was flaky at the time and it passed memtest. But it finally started
locking during boot. It failed memtest after it reached that stage.
After replacing it the first thing I did was build a kernel. It worked
just fine from then on.

I have a PII-266Mhz with 160 MB RAM. I run RedHat 7.3 with Gnome. I usually 
have several xterms open, plus Evolution, Opera and the Yahoo Messenger, 
and the speed is not a problem for me. My impression is that you don't need 
more RAM.

Do a ps -axfu to see which processes you are running. Maybe you have 
something running in the background that you don't need. Take a look at the 
top command, also. Another suggestion is to purge Evolution mailboxes, 
as these can get really big. I don't remember the exact command to do that, 
and I'm in Windows now (I have a network adapter, that I use to connect to 
my wife's laptop, which I have not gotten to run under Linux).

RE: newbie question: how to speed up linux

2002-08-11 Thread Calbazana, Al

I'm just going from my limited experience...  I've had RH on a PII-200 w/
128MB and w/ 256MB, a PII-233 w/ 256 MB RAM, and an AMD K something or other
300.  Running an X environment on any of the above was not much fun.  Given
those setups, I found it less of a hassle to run in the shell.  I spent far
more time being productive than waiting for X apps to respond.  KDE and
Gnome would run but they didn't respond well.  This all could've been my
setup at the time, who knows...  I do know that any windowing environment is
going to be resource intensive.

I now run on a PIII-450 with 512 MB RAM, a Voodoo 3D, a 30GB Maxtor 7200,
and a 4GB Quantum Bigfoot.  No complaints here!  

I'm surprised Win2k seemed to perform better given that same setup :)
Win95, I can understand since it does not have as much of the overhead.

The preferred method is to list the Services that you want Logwatch to

/etc/log.d/logwatch.conf

But, I suppose, removing Logwatch's Cron script from

As you suggest, just move the script file to someplce else, and

 OK, I've just got to say something and I hate the fact that I am able
 to say it.  Something has changed with the install process of RH73 and
 it is cutting out a large percentage systems.  I'm not sure of where to
 begin, but lets just say that I'm trying to upgrade my RH72, RH71, and
 RH62 systems to RH73.

I've seen the same problem working on the installers for the RULE project. 
Red Hat however does say that the minimum processor is a i586, I believe. 
Many older, slower systems crash with a sig 11 while running 
/sbin/loader. I have a PII-200 system here that does the same thing.

 The next system was an HP OmniBook 5700ct laptop.  The system was
 running RH72.  The system would not boot into the install because it
 was halting during partition check because of a dma timeout (or
 actually no timeout). Help from this list and RH support could not give
 me a solution to this. After weeks of trying different options and
 looking trough source.  Finally found a way to disable dma correctly to
 allow the install process to continue.  Outcome:  System upgraded.

Just out of curiosity, you booted with boot: linux nodma in the example 
above?

   running install...
   running /sbin/loader
   Install exited abnormally -- received signal 11
 Which then goes to a line that says you man safely reboot your
 system. Great signal 11... bad hardware frigging wonderful!  Booting
 off a RH72 floppy with the RH 73 CD goes into the install (of course I
 didn't continue).  Hmm...  Outcome:  No upgrade preformed.

Why didn't you continue? You can install 7.3 after booting off a RH 7.2 
boot disk. OK, so it's not obvious, but this install method works fine. I 
doubt Red Hat could/would support it, though. ;) 

I will say that I haven't tried this with an upgrade, only a clean 
install, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work as an upgrade. The 
comps file, the install classes, etc. will all load of the CD. Using the 
7.2 boot disk just allows the system to load.

After building the RULE 'miniconda' installer for the 7.3 release, I found 
we had the same problem with crashing on older hardware. I've built some 
of our 7.3 installers with an older kernel and it seems to have resolved 
the issue.

pppd not replacing existing default route to eth0

2002-08-11 Thread Kevin - KD Micro Software



Hi all,

When I run pppd, it's connecting to the ISP ok, but 
traffic doesn't go anywhere and in 
/var/log/messages, I'm getting "not replacing existing default route to eth0". I 
can see why outgoing traffic isn't going anywhere cause its trying to go out via 
eth0, but why is this?

I *think* this has something to do with 
static-routes in /etc/sysconfig but I'm not sure.

Before someone tries this and finds a problem, I should point out that I 
have done this on an IDE system using ext2 filesystems and booting with 
'linux text'. 
On systems with scsi, ext3, reiserfs, raid, etc. it will probably fail 
unless you do a little work and manage to provide modules built for the 
boot kernel. Updates disk, perhaps?

I just did another install to verify that it worked, and the only problem 
I found was that the NIC wasn't found at install time, probably because 
the driver couldn't be loaded.

Do the static routes include a static default route?  If so, then you are
probably correct in your guess.

At this point the obvious answer is to experiment.  Making sure you keep
a copy of your configuration files, delete the static routes you guess may
be causing the problem.  If that clears things up with regards to Internet
connectivity...then you may be all the way thereor part of the way 
there.  Depending on your network topology you may have to add additional 
static routes to compensate for the new default route.

Re: mouse not working with KVM switch and Compaq Remote Inside Lights Out board

2002-08-11 Thread Edward Dekkers

 I have a compaq RACK mount keyboard with integrated mouse and Compaq KVM 8
 port switch. Also I have  Compaq Remote Insight Lights Out management
board.

More than likely the mouse doesn't like the KVM or the KVM doesn't like the
mouse. I've seen this before.

Try a different mouse. Sometime the mouse doesn't re-initialize properly
when the KVM signals it to. Sometimes the KVM doesn't wait long enough for
the mouse to re-initialize either. Sometimes (like with my old mouse) I had
to wait 3 seconds after a switch before I moved it, or it would screw up X
Windows.

All my problems went away when I got a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical, but
YMMV.

These things tend to happen a bit with KVMs - not much you can do about it.

Regards,
Ed.

about memory leak when I call gethostbyname at platform Redhat Linux 7.2

2002-08-11 Thread Gu Jian





emergence problem! I 
need your help!
Platfrom Rredhat 
Linux 7.2, I called the system function gethostbyname, then I used memory leak 
tools(mtrace and valgrind) to trace memory leak, I found the gethostbyname 
having a memory leak.
I can use command 
"man freehostent", but I can not use, the gcc compiler told me the function 
"freehostent" not found. What can I do?
My example source as 
follow :
#include stdlib.h#include 
stdio.h#include string.h#include 
mcheck.h#include arpa/inet.h#include 
sys/types.h#include sys/socket.htypedef unsigned int 
u_int32;char serv[2][256]={{"192.168.1.168"},{"ntp.psh.com.cn"}};
int main(int argc, char 
*argv[]){mtrace();u_int32 num; //unsigned int32;struct hostent 
*hp;if ((hp = gethostbyname(serv[1]) ) != 0) 
{memmove((char *)num, hp-h_addr, 
sizeof(u_int32));printf("OK\n");}//freehostent(hp);return

Why do you think that?

The log file says that the problem is a routing one. There is no route to
the internet, as ppp has not replaced the default gateway that was already
in place.

What you need to find out is where the current default route is coming from,
and why it's there. (169.254 is a windows auto config IP???)

This would be easy to test, before you bring ppp up delete the default route
with:

route del default 

and see what happens.

You can check the routing table with:

route

and restore the old default gateway with

route add default gw  169.254.236.254

(Though unless you know what this is for, it's not useful)

HTH.

Re: pppd not replacing existing default route to eth0 [solved]

Thanks for the quick response 
Ed.
I knew it had something to do with the routing, and I had had trouble with 
the static-routes file before but it didn'tappear to be it this time.I 
dunno why I didn't think of this before, but a simple route del 
default and then route add default ppp0 sorted it out 
perfectly.
Thanks anyway.
